Why are APIC_DM_STARTUP / APIC_DM_INIT setting KVM_REQ_EVENT again?
Can't see any direct connection. See below.

vcpu->arch.apic = NULL?

A separate request bit makes sense, because nothing in this
(KVM_REQ_EVENT conditional) code sequence handles the work from
APIC_DM_STARTUP / APIC_DM_INIT sites (well, before your patch). See
below.

vmx_vcpu_reset overwrites vcpu->srcu_idx if ->vcpu_reset is called from
within srcu section.

Also, this is not part of the hotpath and therefore it could be farther
from vcpu_enter_guest. What about processing a new request bit here?
(KVM_REQ_EVENT <-> apic->pending_events relationship is cloudy).

Also the fact kvm_apic_accept_events() is called from sites is annoying,
why is that necessary again?
